𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗲𝗹𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀? You are not alone. 𝘐𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘺𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘦 is a common hurdle, but it's also a catalyst for growth. Meet Shashank Shastri, a project management expert who once doubted his ability to focus and feared he'd never overcome his restlessness. But instead of succumbing to these fears, Shashank turned them into steppingstones, eventually becoming a product leader and PMP trainer. The #𝗣𝗠𝗣𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺 was a game-changer, Shashank shares. Imagine sitting for four hours, laser-focused, battling self-doubt every minute. This wasn't just an exam; it was a test of discipline and consistency. So, how did he do it? 1) 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘜𝘱𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨: By identifying weaknesses and actively working to transform them into strengths. 2) 𝘌𝘮𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴: Taking on the PMP exam taught him the value of discipline and consistency. 3) 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵: Real growth happens outside your comfort zone. Talk about the power of perseverance and self-improvement. If you're struggling with imposter syndrome, remember, it's not about being perfect; it's about progress. But more than anything, it's about getting started. #PMP #PersonalGrowth #ImposterSyndrome #ProjectManagement #Leadership
